I figured out the pattern on their security cameras and the retinal locks they use are a joke, follow me and stay low and we should be inside in however long it takes to scale a brick wall, cut through some Concertina wire, eliminate four guards, rappel down into a decommissioned but still armed silo, and find where they've hidden the wet bar and the top shelf stuff.
I'd guess about six minutes.

I always thought of the 3 Wolf Moon as appealing to more of the inner right-wingnut. The perfect shirt for Ted Nugent to wear while hunting wolves with a crossbow and not a hint of irony. I'm more of a Space Wolf fan myself, and I do own that shirt (blog self-link). As for sharks, I put all my Shark Week links up at Monkeyfilter because I didn't want to be the center of a feeding frenzy here.

I would think a better reason to stay away from Urban Outfitters is simply that it is all tasteless, overpriced crap.
Except when they have their big Maxwell Street Days sale. I found Jesus for 50 cents. True story. I found Jesus at Urban Outfitters for only fifty cents. Half a dollar. For Jesus. You can bet that I told everyone I met that day that I found Jesus at Urban Outfitters. And then I'd show 'em. I'd say "Do you know I found Jesus today?" Then I'd show 'em.
Jesus.
At Urban Outfitters.
So that one time, in that instance, Urban Outfitters sold tasteless, underpriced crap.
Of course I lost him at The Comedy Club after too many gin & tonics, but that's another story.

First the hipsters appropriated meshbacks, then giant belt-buckles and now, holiest of holies, the wolf shirts? Dear god, a right-thinking nutcase will simply have nothing left to wear, lest he's mistaken for one of those gotdam metrosexshul hipster types.
If urban outfitters starts selling nascar gear, however, I think all self-respecting nutcases should go straight back to burlap. Or leather chaps, err. wait. no.

This is why I don't shop at Urban Outfitters, actually. I can't deny that they're good at pegging trends, though. A friend of mine cuts holes in his thrift store t-shirts and wears another t-shirt underneath them. We all teased him when UO started started selling this. For $40. On sale.

I have no idea why the cats shirt jumped out at me - probably something to do with the "thou shalt not dress cats in clothes" decree that I've gotten when I once put a shirt on our cat - it's been voted down in our house as cruel, though the cat looked very funny in the shirt and didn't seem to mind too much. (He's a sucker for any attention.)
Also that feathered headdress would only last 2 seconds on any real cat before it would be gleefully eaten.
